Seminole County Phone Listings

The Seminole County phone directory covers government offices based in Sanford and throughout Central Florida. The county sits north of Orange County and is part of the Orlando metro area. This page lists the key phone numbers, clerk contacts, and records tools for reaching Seminole County offices. All of these contacts are public records under Florida law.

Seminole County Government Contacts

The main number for Seminole County government is (407) 665-0000. That line goes to the County Manager's office, and staff there can look up any department in the phone directory and route your call. The county runs a department directory on its website at seminolecountyfl.gov where each listing has a phone number, mailing address, and a note about what the office does.

Under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, all government phone numbers and staff names in Seminole County are public records. You do not need to explain why you want them. The county must share this info whether you call, email, or show up. Even staff email addresses are public records, though some personal info for law enforcement and judges may be exempt.

The state phone directory at 411.myflorida.gov covers state agencies in the Seminole County area. You can search by agency name, employee name, or keyword.

The Florida State Information Center at 1-866-693-6748 or (850) 488-1234 can route your call to any state department. This is handy when your issue crosses county lines or involves a state agency that Seminole County does not handle directly.

Seminole County Clerk Phone Numbers

The Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller handles court records, official records, and public records requests. The main phone number is (407) 665-4300. The office is in the Seminole County Courthouse in Sanford. The clerk's website at seminoleclerk.org has a full phone directory with extensions for each division.

The clerk manages civil, criminal, family, traffic, and probate cases. Seminole County is part of the 18th Judicial Circuit, which also includes Brevard County. The circuit shares judges, but each county's clerk maintains its own records. You can search court records and official records online through the clerk's website. Both search tools are free and open to anyone.

Court records can be looked up by name or case number. Official records cover deeds, mortgages, liens, and other filed documents. If you need copies, standard fees are $1.00 per page. Certified copies cost an extra $2.00 per document. The initial staff time on a public records request is free under Florida law. If your request takes longer, the clerk tells you the cost before starting the extra work.

You can submit public records requests by phone, email, mail, or in person. Florida law does not require you to give your name or state a reason. Just describe what you need and the clerk processes it.

Search Seminole County Public Records

The clerk's online tools let you search court and official records without making a call. For court cases, search by party name or case number. Results show case type, status, and filing dates. For official records, search by name or recording date. Both tools are on the clerk's website and cost nothing to use.

For records outside the county system, the state runs a public records check at stateofflorida.com/public-records-check. This pulls from state databases and may turn up records the Seminole County Clerk does not hold.

Chapter 119 gives you the right to access these records. Some are exempt, like active criminal investigations and certain personal info for law enforcement. But the vast majority of Seminole County records are open to anyone. No reason needed. Professional licensing records are available through the state directory at dos.fl.gov.
